State and employment prospects of nanotechnologies in oil-gas production
R.M. SattarovThe paper reviews and estimates the studies of current state and employment prospects of nanotechnologies in oil and gas production. The analysis of some nanotechnologies based on the appliance of nanoparticles and various chemical and polymeric components in different technological processes of oil and gas production as well have been carried out. It is shown that further efficiency increase of process management of oil and gas production is inextricably connected with supply of up-to-date experimental equipment and devices, nanomaterials, as well as with the development of state-of-the-art mathematic models describing the processes on nanolevel. It was revealed that the buildup of nanocensors can be enormously prospective in the development of oil and gas fields.
